Posted on 12/18/2007 9:05:41 AM PST by GOP_Party_Animal

I've looked all over FR but can't find the "How-to" section. Italics and bold are easy, but I can't find the code to make a link clickable.


TOPICS: Cheese, Moose, Sister; Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: clickable; howto; links

HTML tools are available as free downloads. I can right clink in the reply box and the tool inserts the code. Can’t remember where I got this tool however.

That does not create a clickable link?

The customized FreeRepublic.com server software has a special case. If you include a link in your post, with no explicit HTML codes, then it will automatically make that link clickable. But add any explicit HTML codes, such as a paragraph mark (<p>) and the FreeRepublic forum software will no longer automatically make links clickable.

What works either way is the following. If you have a link, say:

http://www.freerepublic.com
and you want to make it clickable, then enter it thusly:
<a href=http://www.freerepublic.com> FreeRepublic </a>

The word or words such as FreeRepublic in the above example are what the reader will see and click on, and can be most anything you like that will make sense to the reader.

The above example produces the following link: FreeRepublic

OK, trying again without any HTML codes:

(It worked)

Excellent. You are now a certified HTML guru.

Not hardly but before you explained it I always used HTML codes to make links with my HTML tool.
